專家說明

The present figure of Christ may originally have been seated in the lap of his mother as part of a group of the Virgin and Child Enthroned. With his somewhat square facial type and tightly curled hair he recalls other figures of Chirst carved by the sculptor Gregor Erhart, including the Christ from two separate groups of the Virgin of Mercy, at Frauenstein and, formerly, at Kaisheim (see Baxandall and Guillot de Suduiraut , locs. cit.).
